[FE8] [COMPLETE] Host of the Dark 2.5 (25 main chapters, 4 gaidens) + 0%, Fixed, and Casual modes!

Alright. First of all, I’ll say that I’m surprised that Wolgar didn’t die. His growths were way too good to let them live after all.

Second, I liked the game. I’m not a great analyst so I’ll just remark it: I liked the game. And I will probably enjoy the sequel (you will make me sad if you don’t make Erika x Seth canon :cry:).

I also found a script inconsistency:

Spoiler

In Tobias x Luna supports, Tobias says that he’s the brother of Grado and that it was Grado who created Fomortiis. This makes no sense for 2 reasons:
1- Grado killed Fomortiis, didn’t create it.
2- You created a character called Glenn and said that he created Formortiis, who was his first mistake in the process of creting intelligent beings.

It doesn’t make sense that you created a specific character who supposedly created the Demon King of Magvel, then say that it was another person entirely. In any case, Tobias would be Glenn’s brother, not Grado’s.

Hi thanks for playing! I’m glad you had a fun time! I’d like to clear up that spoiler as it’s not a mistake, more of a failure of elaboration.

spoilers

Glenn IS Grado, I can understand the confusion if you didn’t read Tobias Atom but did read Tobias Luna, it’s explained that Grado went under the name Glenn (or at least strongly implied) and that Tobias was known as Latona.
Magvel lore is extremely vague so Grado being the one to both kill and create Fomortiis doesn’t break any established canon to my knowledge.

Ah, everything makes much more sense know. That’s one of the two things I didn’t like about the game. The other thing is that wee didn’t get much insight in most generals of the demon army (except Magnus and Sol itself). I wish I had seen some more of Sol daughters, for example. Is the next game going to happen one year after this one (that’s what it looks like, judging by the ending)? Or are you going to make a game about the next incarnation of Sol in a world who accepts demons more easily? Honestly, I’m eager to see it. I can wait though.

Im glad things were cleared up and yeah I can agree with the sentiment of wanting more moments with the games antagonists

The sequel will feature the next incarnation of Sol, so that will be a big opportunity for fleshing out the generals even more

I’m a fan of unique animations and was enjoying the game, and looking forward to playing act 2 after chapter 7. Unfortunately, my game freezes after completing chapter 7, and I can’t continue. Specifically, after Cory talks about his high magic resistance, and the sprites exit the scene, I am greeted with a black screen with nothing going on. Left it for 10 mins but nothing happened.

Some things that might have triggered this bug (?) The professor guy had died in earlier chapters, but he appears in the cutscene (portrait talking, sprite is not on the map). Sal used an alternate seal? Other than that, I’m playing on hard mode. Hope you find the issue, a pity I probably won’t be able to complete the rest.

I believe hard mode was untested, so it makes sense that this happened.

Hi
This might be a hard mode bug if you’re playing on 2.0 regardless an easy fix is to just start a new game and skip part 1. You’ll lose some items sure but you’ll be able to continue the game

oh haha cool didn’t know you could skip part 1, thx!

Hey all! Updated 2.1, new modes as described in the title and a better-balanced difficult mode! Barya and Sal support was also added! Enjoy! From here on DotD will be the main focus of development however I will occasionally update this hack with supports, I’m open to any support suggestions as well!

Ok took a quick look at this and it seems really interesting. I was going to play this by myself but I may stream it in about a month as I’m working on another hack right now. I haven’t read the comments on the thread yet, but I saw its iron man friendly does that include a blind playthough as well?

Hello! Yes this hack is ironman friendly during a blind playthrough, although for the first part specifically i would not recommend it since the cast size is a lot smaller even if it’s only 7 chapters.
Part 2 is perfectly ironmannable however with plenty of statboosters, units coming usable and deployable for a while, and a variety of powerful tools.

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Heya everyone just a quick update as we’re nearing 3k freaking downloads (That’s insane!)
Just some dialogue tweaks and additions, particularly to late in part one.

Most exciting however is THIS
Create a Fire Emblem: Host of the Dark Tierlist (Units) Tier List - TierMaker
Yeah, I know, big deal.
Seriously though this was something I had on the mind for a while and just now got the time to make it.
Here’s the tierlists I made for part 1 and 2. By no means definitive and the tiers aren’t ordered.

anyway hope you all enjoy!
